   The Proxy Cache Monitor window displays, providing the following information about proxy activity:

   • Sites Cached: Number of proxy sites currently in the cache.
   • Bytes Cached: Number of bytes cached on the proxy server.
   • Bytes Transferred: Number of bytes transferred to the proxy server.
   • Cache Misses: Number of times the cache was unable to serve a client request.

   • Hostname: Name of the Web server, including the name of the service (HTTP, for example) and the DNS domain name of the server.
   • Connections: Number of TCP connections required for a direct connection to the host server. This number represents the number of connections the proxy cache has saved its clients, because Proxy Services has cached the site.
   • Bytes from Cache: Number of bytes transferred from the cache.
   • Bytes from Host: Number of bytes transferred from the host to the cache.
   • Bytes from Neighbors: Number of bytes transferred from the nearest neighbors to the cache.
